Question

Student must clearly show how nutrients are breaking down (like equations) just as seen the respective figures with appropriate enzymes. Student must identify what is the end product of each nutrient when digested. All these equations must be highlighted on your work sheet. This is the crux of this assignment.

Failure to follow these instructions will lead to significant loss of points

Organ	Function	Carbohydrate DIGESTION	Fat DIGESTION	Protein DIGESTION	What Nutrients are ABSORBED
Salivary glands
Mouth
Pharynx
Esophagus

Answer 1

Organ	Function	Carbohydrate digestion	Fat digestion	Protein digestion	What nutrients are absorbed
Salivary glands	-produce saliva which keeps the mouth and other parts of digestive system moist. -Break down carbohydrates and lubricates the passage of food down from the oro-pharynx to the esophagus to the stomach	Amylase hydrolyses starch to alpha -dextrin,which are then digested by gluco-amylase to maltose and maltotriose.	-	-	Maltose is absorbed.
Mouth	Chewing and breaking down food into pieces.	Amylase hydrolyses starch to alpha -dextrin,which are then digested by gluco-amylase to maltose and maltotriose.	Digestion some fats can begin in the mouth where lingual lipase breaks down some short chain lipids into diglycerides.	-	Fatty acid and glycerol.
Pharynx	-For digestive system ,its muscular walls function in the swallowing,and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus.	-	-	-	No nutrients are absorbed
Esophagus	It receives food from mouth when you swallow.by peristalsis ,the esophagus delivers food to stomach				Nutrients are not absorbed.
